Infrastructure-based co-operative architectures: how SAFESPOT deals with different road network areas.

The SAFESPOT Integrated Project, started in February 2006, is a research project co-funded by the European Commission, under the strategic objective "eSafety Cooperative Systems for Road Transport". Its goal is to understand how intelligent vehicles and roads can co-operate to produce a breakthrough in road safety. The system should extend in space and time the driver's awareness of the surrounding environment, using wireless communication to enable vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure co-operation through the IEEE 802.11p protocol. This paper presents the conceived architecture solutions, aimed at fulfilling the SAFESPOT system requirements in every kind of environment within the road network. For the covering abstract see ITRD E140665.
